Third Wild Western Mass in Vienna- with the express blessing of the Cardinal

"With the Cardinal's blessing".

Vienna's Cardinal Schönborn gave his blessing to the smoking, drinking and eating participants during this year's Holy Western Mass in Vienna. For cathedral priest Anton Faber, the barbecue was a "worthy setting".

This was the Second Mass


The Third Mass one year later

I don't know how Cdl Schoenborn gets away with what goes on in Vienna. He seems to be a loose cannon and yet has a relationship with Pope Benedict that seems to give him some kind of immunity.

I believe he by birth is descended from Austrian noble family and he could claim the title of "Count/Graf" if he so chose.

The Germans and the Austrians still honor their former nobility. The Wittelsbachs, Bavaria's former royal family, are still immensely wealthy and get much respect. The Habsburgs also in Austria.

Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube!

If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it. What a farce!

Surely, someone in the Vatican is going to step in here. I think there's a duty of the highest order to stop this.

If the clergy don't believe (in the Real Presence), why would the "faithful"?

This is utterly sacreligeous beyond belief. It's one of the most vile desecrations of the Holy Eucharist possible. If Cardinal Schoenberg allowed this, he has either lost his mind or his soul.
